BARBAR Eco 8000 Giveaway discount codes, giveaways, hair products, reviews | (122)
A while back I reviewed (and loved) the Barbar Italy 3800 Ionic Charger Blow Dryer on Hair On The Brain. It's been my go-to hair dryer ever since--I rotate between that and the Valera Swiss Nano, which I keep in my gym bag.

I recently tried out Delirium & Co. Royal Amber candle. It's an intense mixture of pine needles, black pepper, eucalyptus, sandalwood, musk and myrrh.
